    Default Looking For a Good 0 Degree Aftermarket TM Livescope Bracket


    Currently, I run Garmin Livescope and Perspective view. Both transducers are on my Ultrex trolling motor. I'm running the LS 34 transducer on my Perspective unit and currently using the stock 8-degree bracket from Garmin on my LS 32 on Livescope Forward view. I do have a new LS 34 to install for my Forward view but have not changed them out yet.
    My Perspective view is centered on the trolling motor shaft with the Garmin supplied TM bracket. I'm happy with this set up, but my Forward view transducer is currently mounted to the Port side of my trolling motor shaft with the stock 8-degree bracket.
    Does anybody make a bracket that will be 0-degree and still be able to use on a trolling motor shaft?

    Be aware that if you use the 0° mount on a trolling motor shaft and orient the LVS32 into DownView that the trolling motor housing will block some of your DownView beam ...

    That’s the purpose of the 8° shaft mount that comes with LiveScope ...

    Yes, I 'm aware thats why they are offset at 8 degrees to clear the motor housing. I would really like for my beam to be perfectly straight up and down over tilted 8 degrees. Right now I don't want to go to a pole just yet as I'm very comfortable with it on my trolling motor. It looks to me that if it was just a little longer away from the shaft a 0-degree bracket would work.
    I've even thought of figuring out how to extend it straight out over the nose of the motor housing. Might be risking damage too much with that though.

    Or you could mount it directly on the side of the trolling motor housing. I did mine this way. No interference. Just adjust it so it has a zero degree angle. Garmin already supplies you with the clamp and bracket.

    Just be careful the bracket is plastic and often breaks. So have a backup. Im looking for a metal one but curious if anyone else might have some suggestions. I’ve seen them zip tied to hose clamped to help.
